Google is rolling out a new feature for Google My Business (GMB) listings - Short Names.

Think of your GMB Short Name like your Twitter handle or your Instagram username.
EX: @bnbwebsites
The primary function of your GMB Short Name is to provide a condensed URL that you can easily distribute.

Generally, we are more drawn to sites that are aesthetically pleasing to us, this is due to us being able to process images quicker than reading. If that’s the case, then the images on our websites have an impact on the visitors that land on our homepage and subsequent pages, and more importantly: we have a duty to make sure those images are crisp, clean, and appropriate for our purposes.
